Nice!

I also got the Planet Earth DVD. I watched the first episode, I noticed there were alot of instances where they would say "this is the first footage of the..." Which is pretty cool that they are documenting things that haven't been decumented before.

I also got..
The Dune series (paperback)
Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS)
Half Life 2 T-Shirt (from my boss)

How you like Phantom Hourglass. I have a gift card to gamestop and I am debating between Phantom Hourglass or the Final Fantasy XII tactics like game... What are your thoughts?

Phantom Hourglass is amazing. I've spent alot of time on that game. I won't ruin anything about the boss battles, because those are the best part, but I do have to say that they are some of the hardest boss battles in a zelda title yet. I ended up getting the strat guide the other day.

The weapons in the game are amazing, and I don't know a game yet that uses the stylus as much as Zelda. So if you don't have arthritis, pick it up.

If you're talking about final fantasy tactics for PSP, I haven't played it yet, but I have heard only good things about it.

This is the game I was tlaking about:

http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/finalfantasyxiirevenantwings/index.html

It is called FFXII which is kinda confusing I think. I have heard it is mostly like tactics.


I will prob pick up hourglass if I can pry the DS and Puzzlequest from my wife's hands :)

I got myself a shiny red Dell laptop, I finally got a decent gaming mouse to go along with my sweet rig I built earlier this year, then I bought a nice new mousepad to go with it. Also got Call of Duty 4 with some Christmas money.

Bah, the G7 (the wireless version of the G5) has a "recharge station" I would much rather have a wired mouse than try to remember to charge it every time I leave the comp.

Wired FTW.

There is no way I am going to let a dead battery be the reason some 12 year gets the better of me in a fight. When I loose it will be because I suck not because the battery died.

Also I firmly belive the wired has a faster respone time.

Agreed. I have a wireless mouse at work and occasionally it gets a little wonky. I stick with the wired at home so there is a very minimal chance of it messing up.

Also a big thumbs up for my new mousepad I linked above. As someone who has been using a run-of-the-mill square mousepad since the days of my old 286 rig, it's so luxurious to have one over 2x as big. Plus it has a nice grip on the bottom that keeps it from moving.

You still use a mousepad? I ditched mine when I went optical; have to much crap on my desk to waste space with a mousepad.

Yeah I tried going without once but it was scratching up my desk. Also I like it because I don't have to shove stuff to the side to get on the computer, I tend to subconsciously keep the mousepad clean.
